Where can find these?

Where do you live? If you're staying in outskirts, then yea Moogoo or Buds should be ok. If you're around Klang Valley, then can explore shea butters.

You can also try black seed oil, but it's a bit tricky to find.

For eczema, basically you wanna keep your skin moist. So just look around for good moisturizers.

I live in KV... so this Shea Butters is a brand name?

Shea butter is the name of the item itself. Like cocoa butter from cocoa seed or mango butter from mango seed. It's some sorta butter from the shea seed. It's a great moisturizer & what makes it wonderful is that it has strong healing properties for many skin condition (eczema being one of it). So it moisturize & heal as well. Shea butter is used in many well known moisturizers out there, some of Moogoo's stuffs contains some shea butter as well. You can read more about shea butters here; https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3921619&hl=

Rather than applying a cream or balm with a little shea butter in it, why not apply 100% shea butter instead? Don't dilute the goodness of shea butter. That's my logic when it comes to eczema.

If you're living in KV, may I suggest you visit this interesting outlet in Bangsar Village? It's called "M+ Natural Remedies", they have a pharmacy next door, but go to their natural remedies outlet instead. You can talk to their nutritionist or pharmacist, tell them your condition & that you're looking for shea butters. They can help & guide you. There are even some testers for you to try as well so you know exactly what you're getting.

Where u get ur pure shea butter?

Pure shea butter is definitely not available in conventional stores like Guardian or Watson. There are only a handful of stores selling it (usually small stores) & they're around PJ/KL areas only as far as I know.

Or else you have to order online. There are a few Malaysian selling it online.

The reason I suggest you to visit the stores last time, is so that you can sample it first to decide which one suits you better. Please take note that shea butter is not for everyone to use.
